uuAcuraWatchTMuLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Driving
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Provides steering input to help keep the vehicle in the middle of a detected lane and
provides tactile and visual alerts if the ve hicle is detected drifting out of its lane.1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Important Safety Reminders
The LKAS is for your convenience only. It is not an
autonomous driving system and always requires
driver attention and control. The system does not
work if you take your hands off the steering wheel or
fail to steer the vehicle. 2 Multi-Information Display Warning and
Information Messages P. 107
The LKAS is convenient when it is used on
expressways or freeways.
Do not place objects on the instrument panel.
Objects may reflect on th e windshield and prevent
correct detection of the traffic lanes.
The LKAS only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. The LKAS may not detect
all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will
vary based on weather, speed, and lane marker
condition.
It is always your responsibility to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.
The LKAS may not work properly or may work
improperly under the certain conditions: 2 LKAS Conditions and Limitations P. 527
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system. 2 Front Sensor Camera P. 541
When you operate the turn signals to chan ge lanes, the system is suspended, and
resumes after the signals are off.
If you make a lane change without operating the turn signals, the LKAS alerts
activate, and torque is applied to the steering.
■Front Sensor Camera
Monitors the lane
lines.■Tactile and visual alerts
Rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel and a warning display alert
you that the vehicle is drifting out of
a detected lane.
■Steering input assist
The system applies torque to the steering to keep the vehicle between the left and
right lane lines. The applied torque become s stronger as the vehicle gets closer to
either of the lane lines.

uuAcuraWatchTMuRoad Departure Mitigation System
Driving
Road Departure Mitigation System
Alerts and helps to assist you when the sy stem detects a possibility of your vehicle
unintentionally crossing over detected la ne markings and/or leaving the roadway
altogether.
The front camera behind the rearview mirror
monitors left and right lane markings (in white
or yellow). If your vehicle is getting too close
to detected lane markings without a turn
signal activated, the system, in addition to a
visual alert, applies steering torque and alerts
you with rapid vibrations on the steering
wheel, to help you remain within the detected
lane.
2 Customized Features P. 359
As a visual alert, the Lane Departure
message appears on the multi-information
display.
If the system determines that its steering i nput is insufficient to keep your vehicle on
the roadway, it may apply braking. u Braking is applied only when the lane markings are solid continuous lines.
The system cancels assisting operations wh en you turn the steering wheel to avoid
crossing over detected lane markings.
If the system operates several times without detecting driver response, the system
beeps to alert you.
■How the System Works
1 Road Departure Mitigation System
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, the Road Departure
Mitigation system has limitations.
Overreliance on the Road Departure Mitigation
system may result in a collision. It is always your
responsibility to keep the vehicle within your driving
lane.
The Road Departure Mitigation system only alerts you
when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in
use. The Road Departure Mitigation system may not
detect all lane markings or lane or roadway
departures; accuracy will vary based on weather,
speed and lane marker condi tion. It is always your
responsibility to sa fely operate the vehicle and avoid
collisions.
You can read about handling information for the
camera equipped with this system.
